[00:08:05] <arti> hidy ho
[00:08:17] <Ethanol-fueled> I can't stop reading that Slashdot story.
[00:08:23] <Ethanol-fueled> It's glorious.
[00:08:25] <arti> which?
[00:08:31] <Ethanol-fueled> the one about selling it.
[00:08:38] <arti> again?
[00:08:52] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, again.
[00:08:55] <arti> is dice run by butthurt designers?
[00:09:03] <arti> "you don't like our changes!"
[00:09:22] <arti> this bodes well, i'll read it a bit tonight
[00:09:29] <arti> been wrangling other stuff today
[00:09:35] <Ethanol-fueled> lotta SN reppin, some pipedot reppin' too.
[00:09:37] * arti points to bahn mi on the counter
[00:09:55] <Ethanol-fueled> bahn mi - all bread, one slice of baloney and a pickle.
[00:10:09] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahah
[00:12:04] <arti> nah
[00:12:13] * arti visits westminster
[00:12:52] <arti> fresh baked bread, did the chicken pate and grilled pork
[00:12:58] <Ethanol-fueled> nice.
[00:13:05] <arti> i've eaten 3 today
[00:13:14] <arti> got some sugarcane juice too
[00:13:28] <arti> if it was just a thin slice of some bs i'd hate them too
[00:13:52] <Ethanol-fueled> that's the kind of banh mi we have in san diego, unless you go to the better place on Convoy street.
[00:14:05] * arti visits little saigon
[00:14:08] <Ethanol-fueled> the one baloney-slice kind, not the good kind.
[00:14:31] <arti> there's this place called dakao that has a dry pho with this sauce that's really good
[00:14:37] <arti> my fav is vermicelli
[00:14:44] <arti> that with bahn khot
[00:15:09] <arti> i was missing out on viet food
[00:17:10] <Ethanol-fueled> Must be nice to actually be able to cook and eat real food.
[00:18:58] <arti> once i was at an asian store and loading up on specialty items (types of mint and whatnot) and this older woman behind me in the checkout line looked at all the stuff i was buying and said "is your wife vietnamese?"
[00:19:19] <arti> "uh, no, er not yet"
[00:19:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahah
[00:19:38] <arti> guy in front of me was scoping out the jackfruit
[00:19:43] <arti> "you like that" /engrish
[00:19:51] <arti> "oh yeah, this stuff is awesome!"
[00:20:18] <arti> man have they got mushrooms there
[00:20:28] <arti> plus the prices are about half of mothers/wholepaycheck
[00:21:23] <Ethanol-fueled> There are some good places here like that, places that will sell you the whole fish or let you bring in your own fish to cook for you.
[00:21:39] <arti> right on
[00:22:07] <Ethanol-fueled> the places with the buckets and bags of dried spices and peppers, dried shrimp and fish powders etc.
[00:22:49] <arti> i don't see the /. story bout sellin
[00:23:04] <arti> nm i see your link, ffs
[00:23:06] <arti> blind
[00:26:23] <Ethanol-fueled> that's to the AC comment I posted, but you should start reading at the discussion root.
[00:28:06] <arti> doing so
[00:28:24] <arti> apparently different opinions = extremist
[00:30:47] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, ain't that hilarious.

[00:37:43] <Ethanol-fueled> Speaking of banh mi, I'm about to microwave a hoagie for dinner.
[00:38:24] <Ethanol-fueled> my diet now is buying a shitload of cheap hoagies and pre-packaged salads from Vons. Gets monotonous fast, but healthy and if you're hungry enough you'll eat it.
[00:38:55] <Ethanol-fueled> Savin' the greasy mexican food and BBQ for the weekends.

[00:42:29] <BadCoderFinger> Hi guys
[00:42:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> hi BadCoderFinger
[00:43:22] <SpallsHurgenson> hay BadCoderFinger
[00:48:36] <BadCoderFinger> Hey Spalls, how are you?
[00:50:31] <SpallsHurgenson> I've grown another leg!
[00:53:34] <SpallsHurgenson> (that's not weird, is it?)
[00:55:50] <BadCoderFinger> It might be. Were you watching porn? If not, you have indeed grown another leg.
[00:57:13] <SpallsHurgenson> I retract the question
[00:59:31] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[01:00:34] <SpallsHurgenson> it is kitty's birthday today.
[01:00:49] <SpallsHurgenson> yes, I am That Guy who celebrates his pets birthday :)
[01:01:03] <SpallsHurgenson> we had cake
[01:01:09] <SpallsHurgenson> well, I had cake.
[01:01:29] * SpallsHurgenson denies that kitty's birthday was just an excuse to eat cake
[01:02:49] <BadCoderFinger> I sense a slight flaw in that argument...
[01:04:14] <SpallsHurgenson> tomorrow is Wil Wheaton's birthday!
[01:04:23] * SpallsHurgenson plans on having cake to celebrate :)
[01:06:06] <SpallsHurgenson> Thursday is Christopher Nolan's birthday!
[01:07:04] <SpallsHurgenson> that's worth observing... with cake!
[01:07:06] -!- Tachyon has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[01:07:10] -!- Tachyon [Tachyon!~Tachyon@xuco.me] has joined #Soylent
[01:10:07] * AndyTheAbsurd thinks SpallsHurgenson might be obsessed with cake
[01:10:35] <SpallsHurgenson> that's a lie!
[01:10:48] * AndyTheAbsurd checks wikipedia article for "31 July" to see who has a birthday then.
[01:11:33] <SpallsHurgenson> whoever it is, we should have cake!
[01:11:35] <BadCoderFinger> It's okay, man. Just take a step back and admit you love cake. You're among friends here (well, mostly), just admit the love of cake.
[01:13:30] <SpallsHurgenson> so... I'm sure everybody here is just excited about and ready to install Windows 10, which is being released tomorrow
[01:13:41] <SpallsHurgenson> y'all are probably preloading it already, right? :)
[01:13:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> you can stick your Windows 10 where the sun don't shine, buddy.
[01:14:22] <SpallsHurgenson> Antarctica in the winter?
[01:15:21] <AndyTheAbsurd> ....sure?
[01:16:12] <BadCoderFinger> What did Antarctica ever do to deserve Win10?
[01:16:19] <SpallsHurgenson> but all the magazines and many websites are telling me win10 is teh awesome! and its free... which is always a good sign, right?
[01:16:28] <AndyTheAbsurd> Which band do you like best, Dropkick Murphys, Avenged Sevenfold, Will Champion, or Marilyn Manson?
[01:17:10] <AndyTheAbsurd> SpallsHurgenson: "Windows as a service" = "pay us money forever if you want to continue to access the documents that you've created"
[01:17:22] <SpallsHurgenson> its not a service... yet
[01:19:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> oooh! July 31st is Hawaii's Ka Hae Hawai'i Day (a flag day) - sounds like an excuse for cake to me!
[01:19:26] <AndyTheAbsurd> especially if you can get the Hawaiian flag printed on one.
[01:19:30] <SpallsHurgenson> Caaaaaaaaakkkeeeee!

[01:31:20] <SpallsHurgenson> all these hacks 'n' spying... makes me consider quittin' computers altogether
[01:32:50] <BadCoderFinger> The best thing is that this bug is likely to never get fixed.
[01:32:58] <SpallsHurgenson> maybe get myself a nice typewriter and shack in wisconsin
[01:33:26] <SpallsHurgenson> maybe write up some manifestos explaining my point of view and mail 'em to people
[01:33:32] <BadCoderFinger> How would you manage IRC? Snail mail? I'm not relaying all those pants quotes for you.
[01:35:04] <BadCoderFinger> The ink! There's a virus in the ink! For god's sake, stop using typewriters!
[01:35:47] <SpallsHurgenson> I'll find some way to convince the news media to print my stories for me. Some way they can't ignore :)
[01:36:26] <BadCoderFinger> Every like will have to include the word "terrorist." That's like journalist catnip.
[01:36:41] <BadCoderFinger> s/like/line/
[01:36:43] <exec> <BadCoderFinger> Every line will have to include the word "terrorist." That's like journalist catnip.
[01:38:15] <SpallsHurgenson> I dunno if that newstory would be EXPLOSIVE enough to catch their interest
[01:39:15] <BadCoderFinger> "This just in: Pantless cat fancier explodes. We'll read his suicide note on the internet."
[01:43:13] <SpallsHurgenson> it wasn't suicide! it was a chemistry experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong!

[01:43:54] <BadCoderFinger> "He was apparently removing a spying device, which may or may not have been denying him cake."
[01:44:33] <SpallsHurgenson> they were bugging my typewriter!
[01:47:00] <SpallsHurgenson> sorry. THEY were bugging my typewriter.
[01:47:33] <BadCoderFinger> The cake is out there.
[01:49:49] * SpallsHurgenson rubs his tummy, "No, the cake is in here."
[01:52:34] <BadCoderFinger> Several cakes, based on your comments above.
[01:54:06] <SpallsHurgenson> I consider it a community service. It's dangerous to have cakes running around loose
[01:54:26] <BadCoderFinger> They're bad for typewriters!
[01:55:20] <SpallsHurgenson> hey, my download finished!
[01:55:28] * SpallsHurgenson looks for something new to download
[01:56:04] <BadCoderFinger> Wow, has it been 7 hours already?
[01:57:11] <SpallsHurgenson> turns out that downloads take longer than expected if you let the computer go into sleep mode :)

[02:04:47] <arti> submit to windows!
[02:05:52] <takyon> update to windows 10
[02:05:54] <takyon> be the story
[02:06:35] <SpallsHurgenson> bah, Windows 10 doesn't really exist. I think it's just one of those campfire stories they tell to scare new IT guys
[02:25:35] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Automattic Says Spooks Asked for Something It Can't Reveal - http://sylnt.us
[02:30:42] <SpallsHurgenson> sounds perfectly legitimate. why do you hate america anyway?
[02:31:06] <SirFinkus> oh shit, that's like tomorrow isn't it
[02:32:33] <SpallsHurgenson> just think... tomorrow thousands and millions of users will see a pop-up that says "Upgrade to Windows 10 <yes> <no>" and will blindly click Yes :)
[02:32:50] <BadCoderFinger> Also, NO will trigger YES
[02:32:54] <SpallsHurgenson> shed a tear for everyone working in IT tomorrow :)
[02:32:55] <SirFinkus> I already clicked yes because I'm a masochist
[02:33:23] <BadCoderFinger> Tomorrow, the net grinds to a screeching halt. Download everything you need tonight!
[02:33:39] <SirFinkus> I think they're preloading it
[02:33:42] <SpallsHurgenson> god I hope the internet isn't running on windows10!
[02:34:21] <BadCoderFinger> Most of it is not.
[02:34:34] <BadCoderFinger> After tomorrow, who knows?
[02:35:44] <SpallsHurgenson> personally, I blame Microsoft
[02:35:57] <BadCoderFinger> As you should!
[02:37:40] <SpallsHurgenson> wait... you mean it works for once?
[02:38:12] <takyon> be a hero, upgrade to windows 10 on day zero
[02:38:17] <takyon> be the zero-day hero
[02:39:51] <BadCoderFinger> I'll just be at work, listening to my coworkers wail and gnash their teeth.
[02:39:55] <SirFinkus> I got my hopes up when windows 7 was released, it was almost usable and I thought they had turned the corner
[02:42:32] <takyon> I hope we get a list of manufacturers that include user-configuration toggle for Secure Boot
[02:44:11] <SpallsHurgenson> users can't be trusted with that sort of power over their own property. better it remains in the hands of corporations
[02:44:24] <SirFinkus> FORCED AUTOMATIC UPDATES

[02:45:21] <SirFinkus> I remember when they were all like "no, we'd NEVER do that"
[02:45:40] <SpallsHurgenson> Microsoft has "relented" on that by saying that if a computer fails to boot thanks to a bad update it will automatically initiate a system restore. See, it's just like giving you control over your PC :)
[02:45:43] <takyon> this is definitely going to hurt our ability to buy some cheap laptop and clear windows off of it
[02:45:57] <SirFinkus> because system restore never fucks up SpallsHurgenson
[02:46:30] <takyon> I don't even care what the OS looks like it. it's these two things that really matter
[02:48:30] * SpallsHurgenson hands SirFinkus a whoosh card
[02:49:45] <SpallsHurgenson> collect the whole set!
[02:50:52] <SirFinkus> oh, I was responding with sarcasm to your sarcasm SpallsHurgenson
[02:51:04] * SpallsHurgenson takes back his whoosh card
[02:51:17] <SirFinkus> believe me, I know how absurd it is
[02:51:34] <SirFinkus> well, probably not, since some absurdity simply can't be comprehended
[02:52:33] <SirFinkus> I love the "refresh this pc" option which reinstalls windows when it inevitably shits itself
[02:53:00] <SirFinkus> allegedly while keeping all of your data
[03:01:49] <SpallsHurgenson> c'mon, after all these years isn't Microsoft deserving of a little bit of trust? :)
[03:02:04] <BadCoderFinger> Based on what evidence?
[03:02:33] -!- K_Benzoate has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[03:04:26] -!- BadCoderFinger has quit [Quit: Beer minutes expired]
[03:23:16] <SirFinkus> they have a thing called "trusted computing"
[03:23:21] <SirFinkus> they must be trustworthy

[03:34:11] No_One is now known as SpallsHurgenson
[03:34:18] <SpallsHurgenson> never trust that guy!
[03:35:15] <SpallsHurgenson> you can't trust anyone so devilishly handsome as that!

[03:45:35] <SpallsHurgenson> cake :)
[03:47:11] <cmn32480> wow... that's a lot of cake! or somethign the size of a quarter if you get it from Duff or the Cake Boss
[03:49:14] <cmn32480> i just spent a good chunk of the last hour being hit on by a woman old enough to be my mother
[03:50:28] <cmn32480> I'm really not that attractivve

[04:10:41] <SirFinkus> fuck hdmi
[04:11:14] <SpallsHurgenson> can't, the port's too small
[04:11:32] <SirFinkus> maybe for YOUR bulbous member
[04:21:16] <SpallsHurgenson> I have no response to that won't get me kick-banned
[04:22:13] <SpallsHurgenson> and I'm sure none of us want that to happen

[04:33:46] <cmn32480> nah... there's so little traffic her tonight that you'ld have bene ok SpallsHurgenson
[04:33:57] <cmn32480> sorry... I bene drinkin

[04:34:19] <cmn32480> hmmm... wdoner why that is a first...
[04:34:56] <SpallsHurgenson> because nobody on IRC drinks, of course :)

[04:37:29] * SpallsHurgenson feels the concept of an editor on a news-aggregator site is unnatural :)
[04:37:34] <cmn32480> it's a little chewy... probably should have added water...
[04:37:50] <cmn32480> dude.
[04:37:53] <cmn32480> really?
[04:38:00] <cmn32480> you soudl see some of the stuff we get
[04:38:25] <cmn32480> much of it is really well written, and requires some really minor punctuation or spelling fixes
[04:38:40] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm pretty sure sites can survive without it. especially if they are green :)
[04:39:00] <cmn32480> Timmy and Rob are in a tough spot
[04:40:08] <SirFinkus> 2 "stories"
[04:40:09] <cmn32480> Timothy, soulskill and samzenpus are in a rough spot. feed your family, or find a new line of work, for somethign that really doens't take that long, given that the community provides most of the fodder for them
[04:41:41] <cmn32480> I have at least some empathy for them. Working for Dice has to suck
[04:42:01] <SpallsHurgenson> Dice is almost certainly pushing them to accept/promote click-baity articles in order to promote a higher response rate
[04:42:26] <takyon> PRO-snowdon HIVEmind
[04:42:28] <cmn32480> a safe assumption, based on what we ahe seen go on their front page in the last couple years
[04:42:43] <cmn32480> Dice may be getting paid for them as well.
[04:43:04] <cmn32480> how else are they making 15 million along w/ Sourceforge
[04:43:07] <takyon> SoylentNews will always be behind Slashdot... because they support Edward Snowden like a god! What a revelation!
[04:43:35] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, Sourceforge is being tossed in as a freebie; nobody would actually PAY for it anymore :)
[04:44:14] <cmn32480> I admit I was a bit surprised when their slogan changed from "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters" to "You will be assimilated, resistance is futile"
[04:44:31] <cmn32480> you think?
[04:45:04] <cmn32480> I can't tell you the last time I intentionally downloaded from SouceFroge
[04:46:11] <SpallsHurgenson> it was a Tuesday
[04:46:23] <cmn32480> that was today?
[04:46:30] <cmn32480> er... yesterday?
[04:46:42] <cmn32480> er.... wait... WTF is my timezone???

[04:48:48] <SpallsHurgenson> There is no juggs. there is only zuul.
[04:48:50] <SpallsHurgenson> erm, mutant
[04:48:59] <cmn32480> meh... whatever
[04:49:10] <cmn32480> if there are no juggs anymore, I'm not sure life is worth it

[11:02:49] <crutchy_> Once the update is downloaded it adds a folder to System32 called “GWX” which contains 9 files and a folder called “Download”. One of the four .EXE files reveals what the update really is, the description of GWXUXWorker.EXE states, “Download Windows 10″."
